The oil from the manifold is being cause by air pressure forcing the excess oil
(that shouldn't be there) out between the gaskett. Not a lot of oil but noticible...
I hear what your saying Bazzle. Its just that it seems to be seeping all the time, not just on long trips? Possibly the gasketts are worn or not installed correctly? I was told that there really shouldn't be that much oil in the intake manifold anyways? Was told that the oil could possibly be getting past a seal in the turbo or if the rings are worn, getting through there? Hopefully not the later...
